American Reacts to Americans Don't Understand English

As an American I am open to criticism about my American culture. Today I am intersted in seeing this funny bit from the Jonathan Ross Show about how Americans don't understand English. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

Americans say I love a Tuna fish sandwich we just say I love a Tuna sandwich, we all know it’s a fish

The only thing that gets my goat is when Americans say " Could care less" instead of Couldn't care less. Its infuriating. If you could care less than that means that you DO care

Bro slowly went through the 5 stages of grief throughout this video

In Britain cars have indicators because they indicate the direction the cars turning, in America they have blinkers, because they go blink!!🤪🤪🤪

Petrol... only Americans could call a liquid "gas".

Brits would never say "garbage bin."

Garbage is an American word... as is "trash." We'd always say "rubbish."

I’m Australian and just love Michael His humour is so funny. I think that Australians get the English humour much better than Americans.

One of my favourites is, 'Neck Tie' for a 'Tie'. 😂

Sidewalk sounds like what a crab does.

I love how you started off a little offended but then agreed with Michael in the end 😂 love from England 😊

As an English man you don't speak English you speak American there are a great deal of differences

I have noticed that Americans will not use two words when six will do.

Why do Americans park on a driveway, but drive on a parkway??

Funniest thing to me is that when we brits do name something literally like football, America is like "Nah, that's soccer, we're gonna use football for the game where the ball is mostly in the hands."

As a Brit who dated an American years ago. This is so familiar with me translating for her. She always said "you English invented the language and us Americans perfected it" I always rolled my eyes. I'm just enjoying your comments to this middle of the road comedian

Love how you confirm Michael McIntyre's thesis by referring to the word "back" as an adjective... No, I think he's right -Americans don't understand English.

Americans do not speak English, they speak Americanese

[PaulineGaulton]

Please dont be offended by Michael McIntyre, he is an exceptional comedian, but he does what comedians do, use people as material for his art, 😊 he is not really making fun of America, he’s just making jokes to make people laugh! He will make jokes about us just as easily, and we will find it hilarious 😂👍. Try watching some of his videos on YouTube he’s funny!

In Australia we call it a footpath, rubbish bin, glasses or specs (short for spectacle), squash, horse riding also a sweater is called a jumper 🇦🇺
